 Anti-Scale System

Chemical-Free, Salt-Free Scale Prevention

Model OF744-10

IOM-OF744/844/948/1054

Systems are certified through WQA 

against NSF/ANSI Standards 61 and 372 

for Lead Free compliance.

Introduction

The Watts OneFlow

®

 Anti-Scale System provides protection 

from scale formation on internal plumbing surfaces. The 

OneFlow

®

 system can be installed at the point of entry to a 

building to treat both hot and cold water, or it can be located 

directly before a water heater, boiler, or other water using 

device that requires protection from hard water.
OneFlow

®

 prevents scale by transforming the normal dissolved 

hardness minerals into undissolved crystal microparticles. 

These crystals stay suspended in the water and have a greatly 

reduced ability to react and attach to surfaces like dissolved 

hardness does. Therefore the problem of internal buildup 

of scale in pipes, water heaters and on fixtures and glass is 

greatly reduced.
OneFlow

®

 is not a water softener or a chemical additive (like 

anti-scalants or sequestrants). It is a scale prevention device 

with proven third party laboratory test data and years of 

successful residential and commercial installation. OneFlow® 

is the one water treatment device that effectively provides scale 

protection and is a great salt-free alternative to water softening 

(ion exchange) or scale sequestering chemicals. Laundry and 

warewashing chemistry will likewise require adjustments.

OneFlow

®

 Benefits

•   Chemical-free scale prevention and protection – converts 

hardness minerals to harmless, inactive microscopic crystals 

making OneFlow

®

 an effective alternative technology to 

a water softener for the prevention of scale due to water 

hardness

•  Virtually maintenance free - no control valve
•   Uses environmentally friendly technology by using no salt 

or other chemicals to constantly add, no electricity and no 

wastewater

•   Improves efficiency of all water using appliances – both hot** 

and cold

•   Simple sizing & installation – all you need to know is pipe 

size and the peak flow rate.

WARNING

!

Read this Manual BEFORE using this equipment.
Failure to read and follow all safety and use information 

can result in death, serious personal injury, property 

damage, or damage to the equipment.
Keep this Manual for future reference.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of 

unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the 

system.

WARNING

!

•   Safe for landscaping and lawn watering. No need for costly 

bypass plumbing.

•   Compatible with all on-site and community wastewater 

treatment systems.

•   Perfect system for towns or communities where water 

softeners are banned or restricted

•   OneFlow

®

 does not remove minerals or add sodium to the 

water supply

•   OneFlow can be installed as pre-treatment to commercial 

reverse osmosis systems (contact your Watts Representative 

for further details)

*   For high-flow applications, contact your Watts Representative 

for details on larger, multi-tank systems plumbed in parallel 

that can meet high flow applications from 100 gpm to and 

above 1000 gpm

**  For hot water applications where feed water temperature is 

100°F – 140°F (38° – 60°C), please consult ES-OneFlow-

HotWater.
